You're a Sympathetic Sidekick


No one ever accused you of not having a soft side. And that's why friends flock to your sympathetic ear and well-thought-out advice. You are tuned in to the world around you, and you are always looking for ways to bring people together and enjoy each other's company.

While some people might have one or two close friends, you like to spread your wings and socialize with any number of people. You are open-hearted and free-spirited, making it easy for you to find common ground with anyone you meet. Keep up the good work — everyone could use a friend like you.

What Kind of Friend Are You?

ano na nga ba ang nagawa ng SFC sa buhay ko?

i've been in the community for 4 months now including the CLP days.. i became an official member on the 9th of December, 2006..

i know hindi pa ako ganun katagal.. pero ano na nga ba ang nagawa ng SFC sa buhay ko as a Christian? may nagbago na ba?

if i were to assess my performance, i would say that somehow, kahit konti, may nagbago naman..

unlike before, hindi na ako ganun kadaling mag-break down when faced with a difficult situation.. dati kasi sobrang bilis kong umiyak at madepress.. but now, napipigil ko na ang mga luha ko.. minsan na lang ako umiyak and those are the times na hindi ko na talaga kaya.. pero hangga't kayang tiisin, mananahimik lang ako..

another thing, as much as possible, i try to look for the good things in every bad situation.. although minsan, nagiging sarcastic na ako.. but God knows i'm trying..

of course hindi pa rin ako perfect.. and i'm not even ideal.. 'cause if i am, he should have tried to win me back.. bitterness..

but i am enjoying my stay in this community.. kahit na medyo demanding sa sched, masaya pa rin mag-allot ng time for service.. i just pray that more people, especially the young ones, would get involved sa Christian communities gaya ng SFC..

for the 3rd consecutive night, i came home late again.. and most probably, i won't be able to talk to him again.. correction: i wasn't able to talk to him again.. what could this mean? God is practicing me for a life without him? yeah, that's great!

sarcasm aside, i would like to take this chance to share with you some of the realizations i recently had.. rather, the things that have happened today.. just today..

i don't wanna wait for tomorrow to write this post because definitely, tomorrow's gonna be a new day.. and what i feel now won't be exactly what i would feel the next day.. without further adieu, let me write about today..

as what i've said in my previous post, today wasn't as good as i intended it to be.. things didn't turn out the way i wanted them to.. not even the way i planned.. and it brought me back to the first chapter of Rick Warren's "The Purpose-Driven Life".. it's not about me, it's all about God!

at this point, let me enumerate the things i've been through today..

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MASKED PRINCESS (what a title)

i woke up at around 7:30 this morning.. i set the alarm to 6:00am because i have a class at 8:30 (supposedly.. good thing our prof didn't arrive.. and that made me much earlier for my next class..) but i was just so tired that my body can't bear to rise.. another reason could be the very nice dream that i had.. how i wish it was real.. real as it seemed in my dreams..

..i went to school.. and blah blah blah [place some words here that describe what school is like.. what UP is like.. and yes, Sir Edel's right, hell is UP!]

after class, no.. after the presentation, i went to quiapo to attend the Friday mass, like i always do.. but before that, i was thinking of meeting with him so that i could hand over the cute little thing i bought for him..

but i don't have that much time because i need to be in rosario on or before 8pm, 8:30 the latest for our chapter teaching..

in other words, i attended the mass and went to rosario church..

and the following paragraphs/words/sentences came from tonight's teaching..

it was the first chapter teaching that i have attended and it was about Faithfulness and Orderliness.. the speaker, (ate) sister jane, was a good one and she has explained well the values and ideas we need to learn as Christians, especially as members of the CFC-SFC community..the best thing she has said: faithfulness means obedience.. obedience to God and trusting His perfect will..

but i would like to commend kuya kris who spoke really really well.. honestly, i was amazed by the words he has uttered.. those words really hit me straight to the heart.. i almost cried..

first point: Mother Teresa has been canonized as a saint.. and just like her, we are all saints.. for as long as we have faith, we have order, and we believe that God has a plan for our lives, we are saints in our own right..

second point: we need to choose to be faithful.. and by being faithful, we must entrust our whole being, our lives to God.. we need to trust him completely..

last and most striking point: good thing i was able to control my tears..
>>when a person undergoes a heart transplant, part of his body changes, that is, the heart.. but that doesn't mean that the person is also changed into another being..

the person you have loved with your old heart could still be the person you would love with your new heart.. because in reality, it's not the heart that dictates us who we should love.. contrary to what most people believe, one doesn't actually follow his/her heart, it's the mind that works!

the mind is responsible in telling a person that he/she is in love with that special someone.. the heart just feels it..

and i realized, that's a good point.. something i could relate with..

no matter how hard you try to stop your heart from wanting a person, you would still end up loving him/her because your mind says so..

the heart gets hurt.. yes, that's true.. and sometimes, the agony is already too much to bear that your heart surrenders and is broken into pieces.. but as long as your mind doesn't give up, somehow, you would find enough reasons to hold on, be strong, and stay in love..

i have always asked this question since people i hold dear have failed me.. why in the hell do i still love them? why can't i just forget and ignore them? when will i stop caring for them? they have hurt me badly, broke my heart into thousand pieces.. they don't care anymore.. yet, i can't help but still be concerned..

i thought it was my heart's fault.. it hasn't learned any lesson.. it loved, got hurt, but still loves and i guess will continue to love.. but no.. it wasn't my heart..

i thought i have already forgotten to follow the 'mind over heart' principle.. but i was wrong.. it was my mind which decides all along..

"life is a combination of success and failures. the best way to focus one's life is to never put a question mark where God has placed a period."

behind these hazel eyes..

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

allow me to use this once in a blue moon chance to just blog! sorry if i kinda flooded this page with today's so many posts..

i may not be able to update my blogs in the following weeks.. so for now.. i have to INDULGE..

sorry, i can't seem to make up my mind on what i'm really feeling..

sad and low because of the hell happenings.. but happy to have this rare opportunity to blog for as long as i want.. well, not really, but relatively longer than my usual blogging hours..

thunder only happens when it's raining..

yeah.. dreams are nice.. but they're just dreams.. far from reality..

last night, i thought of him and nothing filled my mind but his memories..
i'm so tired of thinking about school stuffs (presentations, deliverables, all those hell works) and last night, i got the chance to sleep with his thoughts..

and fortunately, or unfortunately, i saw him in my dreams.. and yes, we're together..

he handed me a note saying how much he wanted me back.. what a sweet thing indeed.. i wanted to hug him at that instant..

fool me, i never realized that it was just a dream..

today, i woke up.. and so far, it hasn't turned out to be a great day..

it's been a while..

It's Been A While

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!

And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candle lights your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
